To Find : Which fraction is
Solution:
Fractions 4/5 or 8/9
Fractions can be easily compared if denominators are equal
create equivalent fractions :
By dividing or multiplying the numerator and denominator of a given fraction by the same number except zero
a/ b = ak/bk k ≠ 0
a/b = (a/k) / (b/k) k ≠ 0
4/5
Multiply and divide by 9
= 4 * 9/(5 * 9)
= 36/45
8/9
Multiply and divide by 9
= 8 * 5/(9 * 5)
= 40/45
40 > 36
=> 40/45 > 36/45
=> 8/9 > 4/5
Hence 8/9 is bigger
